Ateronon
Ateronon is a neutraceutical formulated from the compound lactolycopene. This compound is under research and development for its potential in treating heart diseases.
Composition[edit | edit source]
Ateronon's primary ingredient, lactolycopene, is a patented blend of:
- Lycopene: A red pigment predominantly found in tomatoes.
- Whey Protein: A discovery by the food conglomerate, Nestle, incorporated to enhance lycopene's bioavailability.
Lycopene: Characteristics and Benefits[edit | edit source]
Lycopene is a type of carotenoid and functions as a potent antioxidant, bringing along various purported health advantages:
- Anti-Atherosclerotic Activity: One of its major health propositions is its capability to impede the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, a central mechanism in atherosclerosis onset, a condition leading to arterial blockages.
- Cardiovascular Disease Reduction: Numerous research endeavours have underscored that higher lycopene intake from the diet, as well as elevated blood lycopene concentrations, could diminish cardiovascular disease risk.
- Other Health Implications:
- Lycopene might also decrease risks associated with hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and metabolic syndrome.
- Potential protection against certain cancers, notably prostate cancer, breast cancer, and colon cancer.
- Noted improvements in skin texture and health.
Absorption of Lycopene[edit | edit source]
A significant aspect of lycopene is its variable absorption rate in the human body. For instance:
- Lycopene derived from cooked tomatoes is typically assimilated more efficiently than its counterpart from raw tomatoes.
